Kelly Rowland on the horrors of breastfeeding

Kelly Rowland and her husband Tim Witherspoon welcomed their first child, Titan in 2014. The Motivation singer is now opening up about how it feels to be a first time mother in her new book, Whoa Baby. She’s shared snippets of the book with People magazine and says that one of her biggest surprises was the transformation of her breasts.

“All that gnawing at your nipples will take its toll! In those early days, I was fascinated (my polite way of saying ‘horrified’) by the transformation of the boobs,” Rowland, 36, writes in the book.

“My nipples were HUGE — we are talking the size of Frisbees — and sometimes I could see these veins bulging out while I was nursing,” she continues. “My boobs themselves were so long and stretchy that I sometimes felt like I could’ve swung them over my shoulders.”
